“How to Prevent Another Leonardo da Vinci” recebeu o prémio EduBlog Award 2007 para “O post mais influente”. Kris Bradburn explica como as salas de aula de hoje matam a criatividade dos estudantes desencorajando fortemente o aparecimento de novos Da Vinci.
10 características das pessoas altamente criativas:
1. Curiosita: Intense and insatiable curiosity; constantly learning due to a desire to ask and answer questions
2. Dimostrazione: Constant testing of knowledge through experience and persistence; accepting of and learning from mistakes
3. Sensazione: Fully noticing and observing things with all senses, but especially sight
4. Sfumato: An acceptance of ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty out of a realization that life is not black and white
5. Arte/Scienza: Interest in both the arts and sciences and interdisciplinary work that combines them
6. Corporalita: Keeping one’s body in good shape; attending to nutrition, fitness, and general physical well-being
7. Connessione: Acceptance and appreciation for the interconnectedness of everything in life; interdisciplinary approaches and thinking
8. Drive, energy, intense focus: Energy and desire to focus intensely on one’s work and interests (often the same thing); merging of work and play
9. Confidence, willingness to take risks, and tolerance of failure: Willing to continue on with creative work despite rejection; ability to sell oneself and one’s talents
10. Independence, introversion: Willingness to spend lots of time alone working and honing skills; acceptance of possible isolation.
